Request reports and enhancements
Use this simple form to request improvements and new reports
The South Dakota Department of Education encourages districts to send requests for new reports in SD-STARS or submit enhancements of current SD-STARS reports.
Simply submit a request by logging in to SD-STARS and using the “Request for SD-STARS Report” in the District Resources section of the Training Center. Download the Word document and fill it out. Email the completed form or any questions you may have to STARSHelp@state.sd.us. After the form is received, the SD-STARS team reviews the form and determines whether to accept it.
Many of the current reports in SD-STARS began with a request from a user who saw the need for a new report. Similarly, the reports have been enhanced over time, to accommodate requested changes that have been submitted by district users. One of these enhancements was to add the student’s state ID number and school name to one report. When the SD-STARS team saw the value in the requested enhancement, they expanded the enhancement to other reports.
Districts should not hesitate to submit a request for an enhancement or a report idea! The SD-STARS team strives to be responsive to the needs of district users.
